Alberta Lucille Wilson

Alberta L. Wilson passed away peacefully on Tuesday, May 8, 2018. She was born November 22, 1926, in Sperry, Oklahoma, to Roscoe Elton and Elma Alberta Douglas. She was the last living child of nine siblings. At the age of 12, Alberta's parents passed away in a car accident and her and four younger siblings transitioned to an orphanage, ‘The Home’, in Sands Springs, OK. For the next six years Alberta lived there and happily cared for her brothers and sisters. At the age of 18 she moved in with her Aunt Bessie and shortly thereafter met the love of her life, Duard Wilson. They married on February 13, 1947, in Tulsa, OK. Alberta supported Duard through his studies at Tulsa University and St. Louis University to obtain his Doctorate of Dentistry. After his graduation, they headed west to Southern California and settled in Fullerton where they raised their three children. Alberta was one of a kind – never bored or tired a day in her life, she could do anything she put her mind to. People talked it, but she lived it. Strong-willed, never defeated and unconditionally dedicated to her family. She gave everything her all and never looked back. A collector of many things, she was a buyer, not a seller. She is survived by her children Dan (Shannon), Scott (Julie) and Susie, five grandchildren Tricia, Katie, Eric, Jamie and Kelly, and five great-grandchildren.

We’ll miss you.
